Haje’s Brain

Haje Jan Kamps is a multi-disciplinary busybody who likes using words like ‘multi-disciplinary’ (and busybody, for that matter). He has published thousands of articles (if you’re really curious, try a Google search for his name), written for scores of magazines and websites, has edited sense into more copy than he cares to remember, and has even published a couple of books.

What follows is a summary of some of the highlights of his writing career, peculiarly and confusedly written in the third person, for no particular reason.

Book projects

Haje has been involved in a series of book projects; He wrote Macro Photo Workshop (ISBN 978 04 7011 876 4) for Wiley Publishing, and followed up with ghost-writing two more books for Wiley, which for obvious reasons cannot be named here – contact Haje for more information.

Apart from writing books, Haje contributed several photos to Photos that Inspire (Wiley, 2007, ISBN 978 04 7011 955 6) edited by Lynne Eodice, and Tech-edited HDR Photography Photo Workshop (Wiley, 2009, ISBN 978 04 7041 299 2) by Pete Carr and Robert Correll.

Editor and freelance experience

Haje was the launch editor for digitalkamera.no (now akam.no), Future Publishing’s Fast Car and T3.com websites, and as a result spent a lot of time staring at ludicrously fast cars and the cutting, bleeding edge of technology.

In addition to being a contributor editor in the fields of digital photography, automotive and technology, Haje has contributed articles and/or photos to a large number of other publications, including the Daily Mail, Propaganda, T3, Digital Camera Magazine, MAKE magazine, BBC worldwide, HjemmePC, and many others.

On top of the paid work, Haje has maintained his pride and joy, the popular photography blog Photocritic.org for many years. Stuff he writes which doesn’t get published on Photocritic tends to end up either on his personal website, Everything2.com or Wikipedia.
